Special Planning ｜ ＂Superhero Huang Jiguang＂： The great warrior who creates a vivid hero image is immortal

In the list of heroes in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, there is a 21-year-old hero whose name has already spread all over China and North Korea with the Battle of Shangganling. He is Huang Jiguang who blocked the machine gun eye of the enemy bunker with his chest and was awarded the title of "Super Hero to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" by China and North Korea.

Huang Jiguang-based online movie "Superhero Huang Jiguang" is about to meet the audience. The film is a project supported by the State Administration of Radio and Television for the creation and dissemination of network audio-visual programs. It is directed by the Network Audio-visual Department of the State Administration of Radio and Television and the Beijing Radio and Television Bureau, supported by the 95944 troops of the China People’s Liberation Army and the Huang Jiguang Memorial Hall, and produced by Beijing Taomeng Network Technology Co., Ltd. The film tells the story of Huang Jiguang’s joining the army and growing up, as well as the story that he gave his life to block the loophole for the victory of the army. Huang Jiguang, the Superhero, won the first batch of Network Drama Distribution License issued by Beijing Radio and Television Bureau.

Find another way to find the entrance

Huang Jiguang was born in 1931 in a poor peasant family in Zhongjiang County, Sichuan Province. In March 1951, he actively responded to the call of "Resisting US Aggression and Aid Korea and Defending the Country", signed up for Chinese people’s Volunteer Army, and then crossed the Yalu River with the troops to fight in the DPRK. In the Battle of Shangganling, Huang Jiguang blocked the machine gun eyes strafed by the bunker with his chest, paving the way for the troops to charge and making a heroic sacrifice.

Many viewers are familiar with Huang Jiguang’s heroic deeds, but they are not familiar with his growth story. "Everyone has heard the story of Huang Jiguang blocking a loophole, but why did he block a loophole? What exactly did he do before plugging the loophole? In fact, many people don’t know it, and some people have questioned the authenticity of’ blocking gun holes’. " Zhou Runze, director of the film, said that as an online film with limited cost, Superhero Huang Jiguang wanted to stand out from the crowd not by grand war scenes, but by finding a new way to make its characters fuller and more grounded.

Yin Chao, the producer, founder and CEO of Amoy Dream, said that he didn’t want Huang Jiguang, the Superhero, to be made into a traditional biographical film, and he didn’t want this work to be over-commercialized or dramatized heroism, so he needed to find a suitable entrance. Through consulting a large number of historical materials, the creative team learned that Huang Jiguang, who was in his early teens, suffered the death of his father and was forced to work in the landlord’s house to pay his debts. His struggling mother told him that he must turn over for the poor when he grows up. "Although it’s a war theme, the team doesn’t want to over-magnify the war scenes, but instead, it grasps the small incision of’ the relationship between Huang Jiguang and his mother’ and shows how he grew from an ordinary soldier to a super hero through the growth environment. Of course, in addition to his mother, leaders, comrades-in-arms and fellow villagers also gave him great strength. "

Huang Jiguang, the Superhero, has made great efforts in plump characters. "Plump characters need a lot of life details to support them, and the team will also add some dramatic creations. However, dramatic creation should be based on real history. When sorting out the materials and materials, the team found that in fact, in Shangganling, there are many young people who have made selfless contributions to the country like Huang Jiguang. He is just the epitome of Qian Qian’s thousands of soldiers. " Yin Chao said that this film does not simply create a hero, but wants to restore a three-dimensional, real person, hoping to arouse the emotional resonance of the current young audience.

The war scene is strict with details.

Shooting war themes, characterization and war scenes need to be integrated. Zhou Runze said that "Superhero Huang Jiguang" is based on a true story, and it needs to restore the truth by heart, and "truth" is multifaceted. "Not only the plot should be true, the battlefield environment and the fighting process should be true, but also the time, place, props and guns involved in the war."

Zhou Runze introduced that when the previous script was not completed, the crew began to look for locations that met the requirements all over the country. "The conditions of the film and television base are very mature, but the natural environment is much different from the battlefield in Shangganling. When the team surveyed the landscape in the early stage, they went to Northeast China, Shandong and other places, and finally found that the shape and height of a mountainous area in Henan were suitable. "　

After choosing the shooting location, Zhou Runze, the military director and production designer ran back and forth on the mountain many times, and also let the actors experience it again and again with guns. "How to arrange the positions and trenches on the mountain? Where did Huang Jiguang fight from during the battle? Finally, where did the bunker where he wanted to block the loophole appear? Like the battle deduction, we went through the whole process and refined each battle process into the script. " Zhou Runze revealed that after the field experience and detailed planning, he couldn’t help crying while changing the script in the hotel at night. "After running on the mountain, I really realized how difficult it was for the volunteers to fight in the environment at that time."

In casting, in order to be closer to the characters, the team selected a group of newcomers as the leading actors, and invited professional military instructors to train the actors and carefully study various military actions. "There are veterans among the actors, and they thought their actions were very standard, but in fact, many military actions in the 1950s, including gun gestures, were different from those now, so no details can be relaxed."

Creating Heroes from "Humanity"

As a well-known enterprise in the online film industry, Taomeng has produced many military movies, including Bomber, Sniper and Life and Death Blocking. Now, when filming online movies with military themes again, Yin Chao hopes that "Superhero Huang Jiguang" can retain the audience with stories and characters, which not only needs to pave the way for the content, but also requires a more elaborate production process. "No matter what kind of carrier, the audience needs a good story. Huang Jiguang, the Superhero, has been carefully polished, and it has lasted for more than four years from planning to now, far exceeding the creation time of many online movies. We hope that in addition to entertainment, on the basis of the creation of’ Little Zhengda’, the audience can gain something and resonate. "

Zhou Runze said that the current theme creation, especially in shaping the heroes of revolutionary history, should put down the shelf with a correct attitude and proceed from human nature. "Blindly highlighting the image of the hero’ Gao Daquan’ has been difficult to be accepted by young audiences now. We need to calm down, look for the human side of heroes, and link the audience truly and naturally. Only in this way can the characteristics of heroes be highlighted. "
